Freedomain Radio

Hi,

I am a member of audible.com and would like to listen to the book "the strangest man", the hidden life of Paul Dirac, by Graham Farmelo. It's about Paul Dirac, a nobel prize winning brilliant physicist, who had what you could call an FDR child hood (his father would make him speak french and if he got the gender of a word wrong, his next request would be denied as punishment. Since Paul had digestive problems this next request was often a visit to the toilet, which frequently left him vomiting at the table).  He later became renowned for his rigorous application of logic. He wrote such a clear book about general relativity, that even Einstein was amazed, but since that theory seemed finished, he moved on to quantum mechanics. 

Unfortunately they will not sell it in my geographical region (the Netherlands? Europe?) I asked them, but they do not have the right to sell it here and in my experience this means they never will (if the past is the best predictor of the future, that is). You can also not buy it from any other vendor that I know of (european sales rights for this book apparently do not exist ;-)

Are there any audible members in another region that could buy it for me? I could use my next purchase to buy a book for you, so we could swap.

Thanks,

Peter
